Insomnia!

[Dojah]

Well for the last 3 weeks I have had a bad case of insomnia. Let me tell you it sux. Has anyone else ever had a problem with this? I have tried everything, went to 2 different doctors, got lots of medicine and nothing works. The only thing that somewhat helps is something I can't post up...and that barely helps.
If anyone has any recomendations it would be greatly appreciated. :D
I'm starting to feel like a Tyler Durden here. I am Jack's subconscious......

I suffer from insomia
I think that is why I drink so much - because it helps me sleep (not recomended)

I was given sleeping tablets
but i dont like taking tablets

Plus most of the time I have to have the TV on to sleep,
it does my fella head in so much.

have you tried meditation - it did help me alot.

Also, is there somthing on your mind?
because stress or/and deppression can keep you awake.

I suffer from deppression (again with the tablets, the doc gave me some but i wont take them)
and it keeps me awake because I worry about the most random things.

oh and also if you get a bath before going to bed DONT have a hot hot hot bath
have a Warm bath. A hot bath wakes you more and rises your blood presure

(quoted from my probation officicer who used to work with insomiacs)

Seems like I read something somewhere that said lack of exercise is the leading cause of insomnia in America. Perhaps a hike through the beautiful spring weather is in order? I happen to work with a certain population that is constantly being prescribed sleep aids. From what I've seen, I would avoid meds unless absolutely necessary... They're habit forming and kinda nasty...

You are exactly right...but I work out alot. I do to martial art/MMA classes 3-4 times a week. I run some, lots of stretching etc..And I even tried extra workouts and ginsing root and nothing(got idea from fight club). And also agree 100% about the meds..I hate meds. Thanks tho maybe I need sweat more..lol:)

I love that sleepy time tea. My girlfriend always drinks it and usually makes me stuck to the seat glued to the screen. :)
